Saint Paul - the long holiday weekend and the weather cooperated

Couldn't have been nicer...maybe a bit less wind but a Memorial Day Weekend to remember.

Eagan Minnesota - the new job, the new neighborhood

Week one one of the new job.
Working across the street from the Lone Oak Church. The landmark we always passed as we drove up to the Twin Cities when I grew up. We always knew we weren't there but we were getting a whole lot closer when we saw it.
And with the roads of today you really are there by the time you get to the church.
Crazy week in our world. It went from near freezing with 40mph winds out of the north pole on Saturday to 97F and 40 mph winds out of the depths of the desert on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The long weekend begins and it seems to have gone back to normal springtime weather...finally!

White Bear Lake - John goes live at Decoys

John, my nephew, had his night on stage at Decoys. By day he works the tables. And now, by night he owns the main stage! A good crowd and an evening of great entertainment.
A couple short video clips are below.
